  1. thered a scene where kitty has him under her powers fighting in the past and his current/future self accidentally cut her with adamantium claws.

    so still wondering how he got those back. does the adamantium grow because it adapted to his cellular structure with self healing or what? SCIENCE IN MOVIES!

    Pretty sure he could just ask the professor to repair it.

  2. The design may be crazy, but I really like it.

    The side wings that just let air flow by a portion of the car... but are still there for some reason... I don't get. What do the side intakes do? They can only send air to the wheels!? More brake cooling!? I need to see some engineering drawings before I can really say if I like that thing or not.

  3. I'll just leave this here

    Nice. Exactly what I was saying (but I do not know enough about sword fighting to articulate). Baseball bat fighting is better.

    I remember having a discussion like this years ago. The consensus then was that the fights also had very different meaning. Ever saber battle in the OT was not just a fight of weapons, but of words and emotions.

    Ep IV: OBI-WAN new he couldn't make it out alive, he was buying the others time to escape and distracting Vader from the force presence of Luke, drawing the fight out by talking to him and appealing to what was left of his humanity. Ultimately he sacrifices himself to drive Luke forward and to "become one" with the force as a way to continue to teach Luke.

    Ep V: Vader is trying to turn Luke to the darkside, demonstrating the power he possesses. He is on the defensive for most of the saber fight, drawing out Luke's anger and frustration until the climax where he begins to make him more and more like himself before revealing the truth of their relationship.

    Ep VI: Luke is trying to save his father and draw him back to the light. He doesn't start going balls out to kill Vader until he realizes that if he fails that Vader will go after Leia, and since she is untrained, will probably turn her. Even then, his hack attack style fails once he sees just what that level of anger does to a person, then the Emperor goes balls out to kill him with force lightening.

    Ep I: There's no drama to the fight, it's just a fight, no philosophical goal, just good vs evil, the fighting is more frantic every blow is intended to be a killing blow.

    Ep II: More of the same, with the Dooku/Anaking fighting hinting towards trying to turn him, but even then, the frantic style of Anakin prevents that.

    EpIII: More the same to the extreme, jedi bouncing all over, Anakin straight up murdering Dooku, but again no major discussion to try and sway the other. Even the Anakin/Obi-Wan fight was all jumping and dancing about, with little attempt to draw Anakin back from the darkside, more just the two of them whining at each other.

    Beautifuly put.

  4. Most likely hired for the fight choreography. Uwais and Ruhian not only starred in the Raid films but also acted as choreographers. Makes sense there would be fighting choreography needed for Star Wars.

    One of the weaknesses of SW is the lack of continuity in fight style. We have Luke with his baseball bat style, which just made sense to me for some reason. Go to the prequels, and is all artistic about it, as well as bouncing off the walls etc... Just didn't work for me.
